In an interview with Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, Bobby Steveson was asked whether competing in MMA was something he was interested in.

"A little bit, got a little interest in there, but like I said, I was wrestling for three years. You invest so much in those three years, you just don't wanna drop everything. So I guess where I'm at, I don't wanna just throw away those three years and just like go try something else. So I feel like I want to just to keep wrestling. I want to get in with another big company. I want to wrestle everywhere and anywhere. I want to be able to see the world. Being with WWE and NXT, you get to meet a lot of different people, people from different cultures and stuff like that. So that was also pretty cool again to see those type of people. So now it's like I want the opportunity to be able to travel to where those people are from like Japan, the UK, everywhere there's a squared circle, I want to be on," Steveson said.

Steveson has said that he would be interested in competing at Bloodsport. Check out his comments here.
